The vice president gave an interview to CBS News Radio in Pittsburgh Friday.
Vice President Mike Pence didn't join President Trump for the walk to St. John's Church"out of an abundance of caution," he told CBS News Radio in an interview Friday.
Some observers noticed the vice president's absence, particularly given the importance of faith to him. Presidents and vice presidents are sometimes discouraged from being at the same place at the same time. Milley's statement took the White House by surprise, as multiple White House sources have told CBS News. But Pence refused to weigh in on Milley's admission of a"mistake."
Along with other top White House officials, Pence declined to say there is systemic racism in the country, while saying racism does exist. Pence met with African-American leaders at a church in Pittsburgh Friday, including one pastor, Ross Owens, who said he's tired of people who live in a bubble and don't acknowledge systemic racism. Portnoy asked Pence if he agrees there is systemic racism in the United States.
